Details about our 2016 - 2017 Running Club

WHO: Any Tavelli student who wants to run, jog, walk, learn about health and wellness, and have fun with friends. You do not need to be an avid runner to be part of the club!

WHEN: Once again this year, we will be holding Running Club based on grade level:

WHERE: All members will meet in their grade level pod after the last bus of the day is called. Once they have checked in, RC members will be escorted to the field north of the playground for stretching, games, and running fun.

COST:FREE!

PICK UP:All members must be picked up by 4:30 to remain a part of Running Club. Pick up will occur on the west end of the Tavelli field. Park on the Lemay side of the playground and enter the opening in the fence to sign out your child. For the safety of all participants, your child MUST be signed out by an authorized adult.

CANCELLATION: Running Club will not be held during inclement weather. We will make a decision by noon on the day of RC and post it on theTavelli Wellness page. We will also send an email to the address you provide below. DO NOT call the office to find out if Running Club will be held and be sure your child knows how they should get home if RC is cancelled.

IMPORTANT CLUB REMINDERS:- Have your child wear weather appropriate clothing and tennis/running shoes.- Students will be released for RC after the last bus arrives.- Remind your child to fill their water bottle and use the rest room before coming to RC.- After arriving for RC, students should eat their snack (if they brought one) and then begin stretching with other club members.- Pick up time is 4:30 - no exceptions.- Appropriate and respectful behavior is expected at all times.

Please understand that membership in Running Club is a privilege. Students that demonstrate inappropriate behavior, choose not to participate, or are not picked up on time will be dismissed from Running Club.

Running Club FAQs

My child was in Running Club last year, do I still need to fill out a registration form this year?Yes. Every member of RC must have a current registration form on file to participate.

I have more than one child that want to join Running Club, can I put them both on one form?No. Please complete one waiver for each of your children.

My child is not available to participate on the day their grade is scheduled. Can they come on a different day?No. Due to the continued success of RC, we have divided the group by grades again this year. This will allow staff sponsors of each grade to work more closely with a smaller group of members and ensure a safe environment for all participants. If you have questions about this, please drop us an email.

I have more that one child and their RC days are different. Can they both (all) just come on one day?As mentioned above, due to safety concerns we like to have RC members participate with their age group. Exceptions MAY be made for siblings but must be approved by the RC sponsors for the given day. Please note your request on your registration form and contact tavelliwellness@gmail.com with any questions.

If my child will be absent on their RC day, do I need to let you know?No need to contact us with any absence information.

I love Running Club :) -- do you need any volunteers to help?YES! We can always use an extra hand checking in members and tallying laps on the field. Please come anytime to join in the fun!

If I want to volunteer, do I need to come every week?No -- just stop by any day that you can. You can help with warm up exercises, tally laps, run/walk with the kids, or just cheer on our kids!

I lost my registration form -- how can I get a new one?No problem -- just click on the document file below!

Walkathon and Duathlon - what's the difference?

In the past, there has been some confusion about two of our awesome Tavelli events - the Walkathon and the Duathlon. They do have a lot in common! Both events are held in the fall, support our school focus on wellness, and are super fun! Here are some of the differences:

WALKATHON (also called Tiger Fit Charge Walkathon) - is the primary fall fundraiser for our Tavelli PTO. Students collect pledges prior to the event and then each grade level jogs/walks on our Tavelli field during the school day. Laps are tallied and great prizes are awarded for fund raising and total laps walked. Parent volunteers help organize logistics and cheer on students the day of the event. 100% of the money raised during the Walkathon goes back to the Tavelli community in the form of student field trips, playground equipment, teacher special requests, and much more!

Last year's Walkathon was sponsored by PTO, Healthy Kids Club, Chipper's Lanes, and many other community partners. Thanks to generous donors, we raised OVER $16,000!

DUATHLON (also called Tavelli Family Duathlon) - is a FREE family event that unites the Tavelli community and helps kick-off a healthy, fit start to the school year. See the Wellness home page for more details. The Duathlon is sponsored by Healthy Kids Club and the Tavelli Wellness team and was held on Friday, September 18th.
